Burton Mere Wetlands & Parkgate 29th September 2020
Our last birding day out of September was again to Burton Mere Wetlands. We started off walking to the new elevated viewing platform getting a year-tick Cetti’s Warbler on the way. On the scrape were a group of five Egyptian Geese and a single Whooper Swan- another year tick. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my scope up in enough time to get on the Spotted Crake…

WWT Martin Mere 22nd September 2020
We ventured further afield that the Wirral this week and pre-booked (as you have to now) a visit to WWT Martin Mere. It was a very different experience to our usual visits there but it was a nice day and we got a few decent birds.

Brockholes 16th September 2020
We ventured out on the 16th to Brockholes to pick up my scope which had been repaired by Swarovski but we didn’t do too much bird watching. It was totally different to our last visit.

It was a beautiful, sunny, day so it felt like quite a treat. We even managed to see some Curlew Sandpiper and – believe it or not – our first…

April – August 2020 – Covid 19 continues to thwart any birding
For all of April, May, June and July we were not allowed to travel except for limited reasons, none of which was birding – although, from reading the birding magazines, plenty of people found a way around this in pursuit of their more important hobby. For us, though, we stayed at home so the only birds we had were out usual birds. For a summary…

March 2020 : Summary
My last day outdoors was the 13th of March. Thereafer I was confined to house and garden as a result of the Coronavirus lockdown. Only back garden birding allowed until further notice. Now we really appreciate the birding we have previously taken for granted.
